Wendy Rule offers a workshop and a ritual:

THE MAGIC OF THE LIMINAL
Join Visionary Songstress Wendy Rule for a sacred workshop exploring the mythology and Magic of the Liminal. Between the threshold of the old and the new lies a powerful realm of possibility. As we navigate periods of change in our lives, we can draw on the Magic of this liminal realm, a moment in time and space that is neither here nor there, neither one thing nor another. The Liminal is a place of transformation. Dusk and dawn, Samhain nights, Fairy Rings, crossroads, doorways and bridges, all have something to teach us about the gifts of stepping through the veil, leaving the past behind us and embracing a new possibility. 

This workshop is recommended (though not required) if you are planning to attend Wendy’s ‘Meeting Hekate at the Crossroads’ ritual. 

MEETING HEKATE AT THE CROSSROADS
Join Wendy Rule for an immersive ritual journey to Hekate’s crossroads, where we will embrace the power of the Ancient Greek liminal goddess to help us release the old and step bravely onto a new path of power and purpose. Although not required, if you would like to deepen this ritual experience, we recommend that you also attend Wendy’s ‘The Magic of the Liminal’ workshop.

After Ragnarok: Visions for the Future

The bards speak of a gargantuan battle where the world burns the drowns… and the gods we know will perish.

But the tales add this: afterward, the world will rise again, cleansed and fertile, to be renewed.

What is the world you dream of? Because when this society collapses under the weight of its greed and cruelty, there will be a chance to create something different… if we have clear visions and the will to make them real.

Join the visioning, and the first tiny steps toward planning what is to come after Ragnarok. Your hopes count. Give them voice.

Gretchen Helms
Guardians and Focii: Build Your Own!

In difficult times we have different needs; a need for self protection or perhaps a need for binding opposition. This workshop will teach you how to build a corn dolly which you can use for binding/hexing OR which you can build as a protective kitchen witch! Protective herb bundles are provided; bring small photos or small personal items for binding/hexing.

Gretch felt the callings of the nature spirits at a very young age, but then needed to survive Catholic school and didn’t fully realize that she was, in fact, a witch until shortly before the pandemic started.  She’s spent over thirty years in the tech industry and now creates her own jewelry, incense, and weaving.  She has several feral black cats that she tends to as well as the local tribe of crows and a beehive.  She adores tea and online gaming, and can’t stop making stuff for fear she might explode.

Gretchen is a solo witch who delights in creating things....from incense to jewelry and magickal tools. From the age of eight she has felt called to the trees and the wildlife; with Scottish blood she is particularly drawn to Druid ways and foggy damp environs.

Gretchen will also be vending at Hexenfest.

Branches in the Stars, Roots in the Earth- Knowing our place in the Cosmos.

This evening presentation will be a bit of shape shifting into a tree, a bit of star lore and recognition, and a bit of guided visualization. We'll start with a simple meditation of becoming a tree- breathing with it's cycles. After being rooted into place with our branches caressing the heavens, I'll do a bit of laser-guided star and constellation observations. While I have some star lore to share, this will also be largely about learning to recognize the heavenly bodies and understand how they move. There might be some poetry too. Then we'll close out with a guided visualization both above and below.
